The Best New Books to Read in July 2024

Welcome to Today in Books, where we report on literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. You’re expecting this to be a story about the latest TikTok romantasy hit, aren’t you? The clock app may be hogging headlines with stories about dragon riders who do it, but it’s Freida McFadden’s thrillers that are dominating bestseller lists. McFadden, a physician who writes under a pseudonym to protect her relationship with her patients, self-published for a decade before signing a deal with Sourcebooks’s Poisoned Pen Press. Her 23 (!) books have sold more than 6 million copies, making her the fastest-selling thriller writer in the U.S., outpacing heavy hitters James Patterson, David Baldacci, and John Grisham, who all show up beneath her on current sales charts. The New York Times‘s Alexandra Alter details McFadden’s rise in a new profile, which also hints at fascinating tidbits about Sourcebooks’s strategy. Now, my kingdom for a piece about the enduring appeal of the self-pub-to-traditional-deal pipeline.

Here in the American South, we’re heading into the dog days of the summer, the walk-outside-and-immediately-feel-soaked sort of humidity that slaps visitors right in the face the moment they walk off the plane. “It’s not the heat. It’s the humidity that gets ya!” But sweet tea and sunglasses abound — praises be — and we love our AC around here. So it’s no surprise that every afternoon, I find myself inside, hiding from the heat, a good book in my hands.

Have you ever met someone who is wise beyond their age? Such people are often referred to as old souls. They understand life and the world better than many zodiac signs. A soul’s age doesn’t necessarily match a person’s actual age. Instead, it advances based on the life experiences someone has.

5 Incredible Psychological Thrillers You Need to Read

Deciding on which zodiac signs are the most dangerous is not an easy task as there could be many ways of determining what is considered dangerous. Dangerous of course could be a very subjective idea. Your own sign could also weigh heavily in making this list as certain signs, as we know, tend to be more compatible with some than others. So, what am I going to make these predictions based on? I am thinking that looking at the most formidable and dangerous people in our history might be a good way to make the determination of the most dangerous signs. Let’s see what we can learn.

This is the first of a trilogy that follows two outcast classmates who befriend each other and end up raising a daughter under unusual circumstances. Truths surface that were meant to be buried forever. This book is part mystery, love story and family drama. It is a fast read, and I cannot wait for the sequels.
